ya know, it really bites when someone comes along and gives your favourite song that you wrote a thumbs down on here.. and they never leave comments when they do. so i can only assume they didn't take me seriously when i said i sound like the bastard child of yoko ono and billy corgan.

i do not delude myself into thinking i can sing worth a [profane word of your choice]. i don't delude myself with dreams of playing in a stadium full of people that worship me. all i know is that part of me has to write songs, and until i find someone to sing them for me, i have to do it myself so i can keep writing them.

so anyhow, i don't expect the "thumbs down" people to understand all of that. they're people, and they know what they like and what they don't like. and sometimes they feel the need to say so. it doesn't really matter that they want to hide behind a little thumbs-down icon and not say anything to your face. because one day, when i have a band and i'm not singing and i'm playing at a small club show somewhere, some jerk is going to come up and tell us we suck. who knows, maybe that jerk will be right. and it doesn't matter, really.

the bottom line is that you have to get used to people like that, because they're awfully plentiful in this world. and that's why i think dmusic shouldn't get rid of the "thumbs-down" like i've read in a suggestion in a forum somewhere.

if anything, they should make it bigger.
